In the AMA Motocross Lites division at Red Bud Track N Trail, Villopoto and teammate Townley laid down two impressive motos on their Kawasaki KX™250F’s, battling for the duration of each race and ultimately sweeping the top two podium positions in both motos.

Villopoto captured the win in the first moto after a great start, but the second moto did not come as easy as Townley led the first half of the race. Townley led for seven intense laps until Villopoto was finally able to put in a solid pass for the moto number two win.

“In the second moto, I felt like I could have made the pass a couple of times right before ‘LaRocco’s leap,’ but we came really close to hitting each other, and I didn’t want to force it,” said Villopoto. Fortunately, I found a really tight turn on the other side of the track and I was able to make it happen there.”

He added, “It just feels really good to get another 1-1 finish and it helps out everything, points and championship wise.”

In the AMA Motocross class, Stewart put his Kawasaki KX™450F atop the podium with an impressive first moto win. In moto two, he engaged in a heated battle with Ricky Carmichael before crashing in a slow turn with a lap and a half to go. Stewart finished the moto in second-place and earned second overall for the weekend (1-2).

“I thought the weekend was an A+,” said Stewart. “And with the way I rode today, I felt like I should have won both motos. Considering this is one of his (Carmichael’s) favorite tracks, I thought it was definitely going to be tough to beat him. I got one moto and almost had another, so I am happy.”

Teammate Timmy Ferry rode two strong motos going 4-4 for a fourth-place overall, which boosts him back into third-place in the AMA Motocross point standings.
